Chapter 208 Retirement
Ding Ling was woken up by the ringing of the phone.
She took out her cell phone from the bedside table, struggled to open her eyes and looked at the screen.
At six o'clock in the morning, Ge Zhengyuan called.
With a long sigh, Ding Ling answered the phone.
"Hello."
"Lu Yao's contract has expired?!" Ge Zhengyuan went straight to the point.
"Yes."
"You know?!"
Ding Ling wanted to sigh.
How could she not know? She wrote the Weibo post herself and set the time herself.
Ge Zhengyuan quickly realized, "You're their manager, so you must know. Is that why you're not renewing the contract with Daifen?"
It worked, it worked immediately.
Last year, he was still thinking about the theme of the new season of Daifen commercials, but Cai Yuzhen told him that the Fifth Quadrant group would not renew their contract. He was completely confused at the time.
Their group has such a good cooperation with Daifan, and the treatment they receive from Daifan is not bad, so why don’t they renew the contract? Don’t they want to make money anymore?
But if it is the members who want to terminate the contract, then that is reasonable.
After signing the endorsement contract, if there is such a major personnel change during the endorsement period, Dai fans will definitely ask Minghui Entertainment to pay liquidated damages.
Ge Zhengyuan's heart had been beating wildly since he saw Minghui Entertainment's Weibo, but it finally calmed down after he thought of this. He changed his mind and became excited again.
He spoke cautiously, "Which company will he join next? Or will he open his own studio?"
Without Ming Hui Entertainment and becoming a solo artist, will it be easier to find him to collaborate in the future?
Will his inspirations, his ideas, his designs finally become reality one day?
"..." Ding Ling fell silent. She closed her eyes and then opened them again. Her vision was clear, and the confusion she had felt just now had vanished. "Lu Yao will post something on Weibo later. You can check it out from him."
"Is that so? Okay, okay."
"Well, if there's nothing else, that's it for now. I have a new call coming in."
"Oh, right, you should be busy right now." With such a big thing happening, how could Ding Ling, as her agent, not be busy? "I'll hang up now. Let's have dinner together next time."
After hanging up the phone, Ding Ling said she had a new call, but she put the phone aside and didn't seem to want to answer it at all.
She got up and walked to the window. It was six o'clock in the morning and the sky was dim. After so many years, she had finally waited for this day.
The scene where Lu Yao found her and Su Junliang to modify the contract term is still vivid in her mind, and now, it is just the tip of the iceberg of this storm.
Ding Ling sighed again and turned to wash up.
Adjust your state and prepare for the fierce work ahead.
And now, Weibo has already become lively.
Although it was six o'clock on Sunday, there were still many people surfing the Internet. Many fans saw Minghui Entertainment's Weibo post as soon as it was released.
Their sleepy brains suddenly became clear the moment they saw the first sentence on Weibo.
Then I read the entire Weibo post in great shock.
In just a moment, countless comments and reposts emerged under this Weibo post.
"No, can anyone tell me what this says? Why can't I read Chinese characters all of a sudden?"
"Did I stay up too late and my eyes are blurry?"
"I kept clicking in and out of the homepage. I couldn't believe this was actually a Weibo post from Minghui Entertainment."
The most-liked comment under this Weibo post summarized the entire post in just a few words.
"Lu Yao? Contract expired?"
All the fans of the "Dashimei" (that is, the entire Minghui Entertainment training system), no matter which generation they are from, will not be able to remain calm after seeing this Weibo post.
Those who still had their eyes open all forwarded this Weibo post to their own homepages and left shocked comments when they saw it for the first time.
Minghui Entertainment has been around for more than 20 years, almost 30 years. There have been artists who have terminated their contracts, but there has never been a group that terminated its contract just four years after forming!
And what did Minghui Entertainment say? The contract expired?
Does expiration mean that the contract is only for four years?
That’s even more shocking!
After years of painstaking training, they only sign a four-year contract with you after your debut? Are there any entertainment agencies in the world that kind?
Amid such surprise, it didn’t take long for the topic #Lu Yao’s contract expires# to quickly become a hot search and soon climbed to the top of the hot search list.
After the first wave of shock ended, everyone calmed down a little and became curious like Ge Zhengyuan.
Lu Yao's contract has expired. What will happen to him next? What about his group?
Will Lu Yao develop into a solo artist, continue to be an idol, or become a singer? An actor?
Lu Yao didn’t choose to take the college entrance examination before. Was it because his contract was about to expire this year, so he waited until this year so that he would have more time to prepare for the college entrance examination?
Will the Fifth Quadrant group only have five members from now on? Will Lu Yao still be able to sing the group's songs in the future?
Also, why is Lu Yao's contract only four years? Is there something wrong with this?
…
Questions popped up one after another, and everyone was discussing them enthusiastically.
If you open any of Dahuimei’s Weibo homepages and refresh it, all you’ll see are reposts of Minghui Entertainment’s Weibo post.
Even if you don’t follow the fifth generation, you can’t miss this excitement.
After being shocked on Weibo, they moved to other platforms and were shocked again.
When Shen Sisi was woken up by a series of calls, she only had time to hear three words from the other end of the phone, "Go to Weibo!", before the person hung up and automatically opened Weibo.
Before she had time to think about what to look at on Weibo or what keywords to search for, as soon as she refreshed the homepage, a Weibo post popped up in her face.
Shen Sisi was so scared that she sat up immediately.
At a glance, she knew that this was what someone had woken her up to see.
Song Rui was awakened by Shen Sisi's movement. She struggled to open her eyes and asked vaguely, "What's wrong?"
Shen Sisi didn't move for a long time. Song Rui waited for a long time. Just when she was about to ask again, Shen Sisi spoke: "Lu Yao and Minghui Entertainment terminated their contract."
?
"What's the meaning?"
Song Rui felt that her mind was not very clear, and she did not quite understand the meaning of Shen Sisi's words.
Shen Sisi turned around and looked at Song Rui, her voice vague: "Lu Yao is no longer an artist of Minghui Entertainment."
!
Song Rui sat up suddenly.
Immediately find your phone and open Weibo.
She also didn't need to search, the first item on the homepage was Minghui Entertainment's big statement.
After reading it over and over again several times, Song Rui looked up in a daze and saw Shen Sisi with a complicated expression.
"Lu Yao's contract is only for four years..." Even though she had seen Minghui Entertainment's statement, Shen Sisi still couldn't believe it. She had been looking forward to Lu Yao's freedom for four years. Is it finally coming now?
She was not as happy as she had imagined, and a more complicated emotion entangled her.
She was still looking forward to the future of the Fifth Quadrant combination yesterday, but this morning she was told that such a future was impossible.
My brain was unable to think, and my fingers could only mechanically refresh the Weibo homepage. I saw a shocking forwarded Weibo post appear on the homepage, and then I refreshed it again, and another almost identical Weibo post appeared.
I don’t know how long I kept refreshing like this, and when I refreshed again, new content suddenly appeared on the Weibo homepage.
Shen Sisi woke up with a start.
I saw Lu Yao’s name clearly on the phone screen.
"Lu Yao posted on Weibo!"
Song Rui and Shen Sisi said in unison, then they both quieted down and focused on reading Lu Yao's Weibo.
At 6:30, half an hour after Minghui Entertainment’s statement, the protagonist of the statement forwarded the statement.
@Fifth Quadrant Group-Lu Yao:
Thank you for everyone's support and companionship over the past four years
It is because of your existence that I feel happiness and joy.
Although reluctant, there is always separation after meeting
From now on, I will quit the entertainment industry
This Weibo post will no longer be updated
Thank you for all the encounters and brief companionships
//@Minghui Entertainment:

Shen Sisi was stunned. She couldn't believe what she saw.
She repeatedly clicked on Lu Yao's name and went into his homepage, trying to confirm whether this Weibo post was a repost from Lu Yao.
"Song Rui...was my account hacked?" She looked at Song Rui with a trembling voice.
Song Rui shook her head. She seemed to not recognize the two words "Lu Yao" which were so big at this moment.
A large number of comments immediately emerged under this Weibo post.
"In person?"
"Is this true?"
"Quitting the entertainment industry? Are you crazy?"
“Am I hallucinating?”
"It's not this."
"What's going on? Is there anyone who can tell me what's going on?"
"You're going to quit? How is that possible? Why do you want to quit?"
Countless people came to leave comments, some were shocked and confused, but more of them couldn't believe it.
Even though Minghui Entertainment had already issued a statement, even though Lu Yao's own account reposted it, even though half an hour had passed and no one came out to refute the rumors, countless people were still confused.
Shen Sisi felt like she was standing on a cloud without any support. Her brain was thinking, her mind was analyzing, her eyes were watching, but her heart was empty.
There was no belief, no doubt, as if all emotions had suddenly been lost, even the surprise was gone.
She just read Lu Yao's Weibo over and over again, word by word, as if she wanted to imprint these few short paragraphs in her heart.
Then when I refreshed the page again, I saw an extremely familiar account appear in the forwarding list.
@苏俊良: Grateful to have met you, wishing you the best in your future journey // @Fifth Quadrant Group-Lu Yao: [Retweet]
A huge rock fell to the ground, the clouds dispersed, and Shen Sisi, who was floating in the air, suddenly fell down.
She waved her hands, trying to grab something around her to stop her fall, but there was nothing.
She felt nothing but air.
Countless message alerts rang, and the phone rang one after another. Shen Sisi looked up. The sky outside the window was gradually brightening, and the alert tones in her ears seemed to be knocking on her heart. Each one represented a colleague who had contact information with her.
Everyone was reminding her that Lu Yao had retired from the entertainment industry.
